It seems as you're using a Karmic Koala (9.10) repository. As Karmic isn't supported anymore, your system can't be updated.

If you're using 10.04, try disabling those repositories. For further info, could you please attach your sources.list file? Use this command and paste the output:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

added by the release upgrader
deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala - Release i386 (20091027)]/ karmic main restricted
deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex - Release i386 (20081030)]/ intrepid main restricted
See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
